Yarn Along...

Collecting.

Winding..


Reclaimed fiber makes me happy.
Vintage yarns, yarn from sweaters, vintage cones..

This collection is for a DIY weaving class I am teaching
at the end of the month.



Dyeing the colors of spring..

'Printemps'

Brilliant green leaves, redbud blooms, peachy maple tree tips 
ready to pop..

Library love:


Reading 'The Mockingbird Next Door: Life with Harper Lee" ..

Just cast on the "Ardent" by Kallio knits.
So much for those UFO's..

  4. How wonderful to reclaim yarn from old sweaters, something I haven't tried before but really should. I would rather re-use something than send it to land fill.

    1. Hi Becki!! Yes, the yarns are all "reclaimed" ~ recycled sweater yarn, random thrift shop scores, and vintage yarns from estate and yard sales. So much fun to collect!!
